I have perused the thread and did not see any reference to the July-August issue of the American Scientist which had an article “Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors”. It is available from their web site, but costs money. They state that “Thorium is not currently under consideration for the DOE’s development attention”. They do not appear to be very optimistic that anything positive will happen soon.
They reference an online forum at http://energyfromthorium.com/ which may have some information of interest. The forum’s mission statement is: “Devoted to the discussion of thorium as a future energy resource, and the machine to extract that energy–the liquid-fluoride thorium reactor.” The authors call the forum, “an energetic, international gathering of scientists and engineers probing the practical potential of this fuel.”
"The authors call the forum, “an energetic, international gathering of scientists and engineers probing the practical potential of this fuel.”"
Hope it is not just like the UN's panel on climate control with scientist who would not know the scientific method if it bit them on the butt.
WP I spent just a little time on the link you gave and it is great. There also is an active forum there which will take me weeks to go through.
